Retro VW campervan hire based in Deal Kent - for the best vw campervan holidays and short breaks anywhere in the UK

Wanted to surprise my husband to a weekend away in a camper and lo and behold we are lucky enough to have a brilliant rental company here in Deal. Paul and Jane communicate promptly with all the information you will need, they supply the cleanest, smartest, coolest V Dubs ever seen. A weekend in Olive (IN SUFFOLK) was the best weekend we have had away for ages, thanks to retro camper. We will certainly be using you again and recommending you to the world!!!!!

Enthusiastic local owner. Vehicle in perfect condition all ready for pick up with also a food hamper , clean towels and sleeping bags and everything one could want. Perfect weekend hire and so much better than any other car or van hire I have ever come across. Flexible on return time to suit us. 100% recommended.

We've just returned from a 4 day trip to France in Olive. Paul and Jane offered an impeccable service, friendly and relaxed and with everything covered, right down to lovely sausages and local apple juice in the fridge when we picked the van up. We absolutely loved driving round France in the camper and pitching up at night to cook whatever food we'd bought at the local markets before sleeping in the comfy van. She ran beautifully and took us to some beautiful deserted places and we always loved walking back to spot her parked in the street. Highly recommend this as a different and hassle-free holiday and highly recommend Rent a Retro camper as the friendliest and easiest company I looked at. Thanks!

My 11-year-old, Alfie, and I went off in Olive for perhaps the most fun holiday we've had. We headed for the surfer's mecca of Polzeath in Cornwall, parked up on a beachside campsite, where we were the coolest vehicle there, and unleashed our respective inner hippies. The wettest summer in living memory did nothing to dampen spirits. We spent many happy hours playing board games on Olive's table (which kept sliding off until we discovered wheel-levellers) while Biblical rainstorms proved without a doubt that Olive is leak-proof! There was a strange assortment of animals lining up, two by two, outside the door at one stage... Altogether a fab holiday. We learned to surf despite the weather - and sorry we broke one of your break-proof glasses!

I just wanted to say a big thank you to Paul and Jane for letting us as "adopt" Anni for a long weekend last month to celebrate my husband's birthday. Good old fashioned fun was had by all, even our 11 year old daughter, and that included putting a smile on the faces of other road users and passers-by. Anni's feelgood factor was certainly contagious!
As far as Paul and Jane are concerned, the service provided over the Internet, by phone and on handover was very friendly and professional and it was a pleasure to business with them.
I really can't recommend the whole experience highly enough and urge anyone out there with even the slightest desire to go ahead and Rent a Retro Camper!

Wow! what a great weekend! Every step of the way from booking to the reluctant handover at the end of a fabulous weekend was excellent. We booked via e-mail which was prompt, clear and totally hassle free. All that we could wish to know was explained and our specific needs were accommodated. We had booked Anni which being a left-hand drive, and not having driven one for a long time, I was a little nervous of, I shouldn’t have been. Paul was great at the handover, calm and patient, I felt immediately at ease - all questions answered and Anni was fabulous. It took a few minutes to get hold of ‘real’ driving again and all that entails, getting to know the gears etc. but in no time we were off. Anni was a real joy to drive and I enjoyed moment of it, Perfect!
This was the first time my wife, daughter and I had ever done anything like this. Anni was very well equipped for all our needs and we soon got to grips with setting up ready for meals, bed etc. We had the option of a cot for out 4 year old but the bed was by far big enough for the three of us, which my daughter thoroughly liked (also I’m 6ft 1 and had bags of leg space with no feet hanging).
Would we do it again - ‘at the drop of a hat.’ Only problem I have now is convincing my wife we can’t buy one just yet!
Thank you Jane and Paul.

We returned this afternoon from a wonderful four days spent with 'Anni", The service that we received from Paul and Jane was impeccable. 'Anni' was a dream to drive and equipped with every conceivable camping item needed for the trip. As the company mission statement says 'Just bring your clothes and Go' and we certainly did just that.The vans are maintained to a very high standard and the cleanliness is beyond Kim and Aggie's levels. It was such an amazing experience to get away from our normal hectic lifestyle and sit back and enjoy 'VW camper' life. It was an emotional experience having to say goodbye to her. Very highly recommend this company to anyone and everyone young or old, it will give you a holiday not to be forgotten.

We rented 'Anni' for a long weekend.We drove to Eastbourne and camped making use of the fabulous tent that came with the hire. We had such fun driving her and singing along (at camper van volume) to the good quality sound system. We were really impressed with Anni. She was immaculate and carried lots of useful high quality camping equipment that made our weekend so much easier. The van was everything you'd hope for.

We hired one of Paul's VW camper vans to use as a wedding car and for the bride & groom to be able to spend a romantic night in it by the sea. The car was immaculate with everything in it that one could want for camping. Everything seemed new and he had gone to a lot of trouble even to the point of checking what food and drink to put in the fridge! Very efficient and helpful - a pleasure to do business with. He obviously takes a pride in what he does. We would certainly use him again and are very happy to recommend him to others.

We rented "OLIVE" a beautiful lime green VW camper from Paul. It was immaculate and came with everything you could possibly want and some more! Including a full fridge. We cant speak highly enough of Paul who is a consumate professional and a true gentleman.

We recently hired "Olive" the VW Camper van for a week and took her to Europe. When the website says you only need to bring your clothes it means it!! Olive was fantastic and excellent value for money. We loved her and can't wait to hire her again!! Thank you x

We hired "Anni" over Easter for a trip to France - not only is Rent a Retro Camper the only company that allows their vans to be taken over the channel, but 'Anni' came equipped with everything and more that we needed for a great trip. We have recommended Paul to family and friends - a great service!

We rented a camper for our 10th wedding anniversary in September. It was the most fun & relaxing experience you could imagine. Paul at Retro Campers was brilliant & the camper was absolutely fantastic - well equipped & immaculate. If you want to feel part of the human race rather than the rat race, rent a camper, it makes every one around you smile. Leonard & Christina Kay

We had a great few days away in ‘Anni’. Paul made it very easy to organise. Anni is lovely and very well equipped with everything thought of. Can’t recommend highly enough.

We hired 'Anni' for a weekend in August and were really impressed with the van and the level of service from Rent a Retro Camper. The van was stunning and came equipped with everything we needed and more. The customer service we received was outstanding too. Highly recommended!!!
